We have kicked off our 2018 Read-A- Thon with Drop everything and read on Sept 24th. The Read-A-Thon will run until October 7th. This is a wonderful opportunity to get our kids geared up for the love of reading while raising funds for the school.

Some things to know:

Each student has their own personal code and page to help track minutes, raise funds, and earn prizes thru October 7th

There are prizes for everyone: Top reading class, Top fund Raisers (Class and individuals) , Top readers

Don’t forget to complete your additional chances to win by completing the coupons sent in Friday Folders

Coupons will be collected each morning as the kiddos enter the school doors

Our school goal is 150K minutes for the staff to turn their hair green!

We will update our Facebook page on our daily running totals. (We hear there is some fierce competitions between the classrooms occurring.. and we love that)

For the 2018/2019 school year Green Gables Elementary has a new Library system and new look and feel to the library? We were able to accomplish these things partially with the funds raised from last year’s fund raisers contributing 4K to the library revamp from last year’s fund raiser
